what have you done to your car today ?

[Andrewwright]

Buy cheap and all that..was ok untill I took it off and give it a bang, gone back to stock box set up today as I had another cheap air filter about till I could get to euro. Staying stock box set up now and forever. Was very lucky I think.

Hks

A counterfit HKS though. They have a great rep on jap motors, a real HKS wouldn't fall apart like that. Shocking state! Was probably doing f*ck all in terms of filtration, I'd definitely be asking for a refund from wherever you bought it.

That's what made me look at it because the car seemed to struggle..like it was choking/stalling at about 4.5k then would come back to life. You're probably right on the so called branding issue, funny thing...a copy of a Chinese made filter, what is the world coming to lol

Listened to a lovely crunching sound from my passenger side electric window.



Only managed to get it 7/8ths of the way back up on my lunch break. Hope it doesn't rain before I get it looked at.

Had that. Have you tried opening door and sandwiching the glass between your hands to pull it up.
Sometimes helps to pull the switch st the same time. But need another hand for that.

I did mate. I'll pop round my mates on way home and get another pair of hands on it. Hopefully get it closed properly until I can get it repaired tomorrow.

Had the exact same thing happen on my 2003 Ibiza.

Window regulator. Not an expensive repair if you do it yourself, but it'll cost you a couple of hours. There's a guide knocking about somewhere.

Where did you go in the end? Cost?

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Turbo done. Cost me 380 for a recon turbo. 275 fitting. 28 in gaskets and 16 quid antifreeze. Pretty fair I think and all in for less than a brand new turbo.
Now it's off to R Tech or Badger for a custom map.

Got the electric window fixed. Ended up being £100 (£50 for the relay and £50 labour).

Not too bad. I'd still rather have the cash in my pocket though!

on way home from work and went to give her a boot full as e36 m3 up my arse and she just spluttered and didnt give anything............limp her to the nearest parts shop and bought a single coil.....went through 1 by 1 through the cylinders and got the last 1 with no difference..............as i was plugging it in to the last 1 sweating and praying it would work. (bearing in mind im in aldi car park) i turned her over and THANK GOD shes purring once again..........

Had the torque app on today buy chance as I never do this normally and come across a Integra type r and this other civic coupe, long story short I beat them both and this Astra all on the same private road "must be busy on Sunday's here" and then looked at the app after!! Omg...I'm surprised I didn't detonate into space pic of screen shot.

Vinyl wrapped the fog lights.
Had wheel alignment done and a leaking tyre valve replaced. Swapped over original wheel bolts for black ones. Much nicer now with my wheels.

If I could ask what OBDII port reader do you use, I've a Bluetooth one that works on my other VW group car with Torque lite but not on my Leon, plus I've got VCDS and that works ok, so the OBD port is ok.

cheers.
